TO LOVE YOU!

[Intro – soft piano]

(piano only)

(male vocal – quiet)

I gave everything
Just to keep you close

Didn’t even realise
What it cost

⸻

[Verse 1]

(piano only, light ambient pad)

(male vocal – reflective)

Changed the way I spoke
Changed the way I moved

Changed the way I saw myself
Just to fit with you

Every little part of me
Started fading out

Trying to be the version
You would care about

Every time I stayed
When I should’ve gone

Every time I felt it
But I still held on

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

(piano building slightly, soft harmonies)

(male vocal)

There was no space
For me to breathe

No middle ground
Just you and me

⸻

[Chorus]

(piano, soft harmonies)

To love you
I had to lose myself

To hold you
I became someone else

To love you
There was no in-between

It was all your world
And no room for me

To love you
I gave more than I had

Tried to fix something
That always felt bad

To love you
I let everything go

And I’m still learning
How to say no

⸻

[Verse 2]

(piano continues, light percussion enters softly)

(male vocal – emotional)

Every compromise
Turned into a change

Every little moment
Never stayed the same

You would pull me close
Just to push away

Left me trying harder
Every single day

And I kept believing
You would finally see

Love shouldn’t feel like
Losing me

But I stayed too long
In a place like that

Now I’m finding pieces
I’m trying to get back

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

(piano lift, harmonies)

(male vocal)

I forgot who I was
Trying to be enough

For someone
Who needed too much

⸻

[Chorus]

(piano, soft harmonies)

To love you
I had to lose myself

To hold you
I became someone else

To love you
There was no in-between

It was all your world
And no room for me

To love you
I gave more than I had

Tried to fix something
That always felt bad

To love you
I let everything go

And I’m still learning
How to say no

⸻

[Bridge]

(piano softer, emotional tone)

(male vocal)

Maybe love
Shouldn’t feel like war

Maybe love
Shouldn’t hurt this much

Maybe love
Is meant to be

Something that sets you free

⸻

[Final Chorus]

(piano and light lift, stronger harmonies)

To love you
I had to lose myself

To hold you
I became someone else

To love you
There was no in-between

It was all your world
And no room for me

To love you
I gave more than I had

But now I see clearly
What I never had

To love you
I let everything go

And now I’m learning
How to love my own soul

⸻

[Outro]

(piano fading)

(male vocal – soft)

To love you…
I lost me
